United skipper Gary Neville says the Reds fully deserved to be crowned Premiership champions, but he urged his team-mates to now focus on lifting the FA Cup.
Neville lifted his seventh league trophy on Sunday - his first as captain - but urged the Reds to make it a “special” season by doing the double.
“There were times in the last three years where we felt really low,” he admitted on MUTV. “We probably weren’t consistent enough to win it, we didn’t deserve to be champions.
"But this year we deserve it. It’s a fantastic day for the club. It’s important to savour the moment, but we’ve got a huge game next week.
“We’ve had a great week, but the focus at United is to move on and we have to think about the cup final next week and make it a really special season.”
Neville, who has been suffering with an ankle injury and hasn’t played since 17 March, will start football training on Monday and, according to Sir Alex, “will be given every chance” of making the final. But his place is by no means assured. “I’ll be there,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll be playing, but I hope I will.”
